There were so few ways this day could go worse. The day after the full moon tended to be almost as bad as the full moon itself. At least Sebastian got to stay human, which was the only plus. Not that be felt human at all. Unless pain made you human? That was a little too deep for his throbbing head and aching body

He leaned in to lightly press his forehead to Sebastian's, a clipped sigh of comforted relief escaping him as the touch of his hand wandered, Reid's eyes momentarily fluttering shut before those fingers finally settled in a light grip around his wrist. Reid's hand curled up against Sebastian's shoulder, lightly bunching up the soft, worn fabric of his shirt.
"Mmhm. Shut up. Like I'd actually fucking leave-" Once again, despite the intended sharpness of his words, phrases that usually would have been brimming with biting snark and sarcasm, there wasn't much Reid could do to mitigate the slightly shaky softness of his tone, nor to avoid the way a clinging sort of desperation snuck into how he curled up next to him.
"I'm not that easy to shake, apparently. Deal with it-"

That's the kind of effect Reid had on him, which had yet to stop being surprising. It was only slightly less shocking than the near fierce need Sebastian had developed recently - more accurately since last night - to keep Reid from looking distraught and exhausted.
He squeezed Reid's wrist the slightest bit as the fabric over his shoulder pulled. Sebastian tilted his head, quite frankly nuzzling against Reid before he sighed and pressed a sift kiss to the corner of his lips.
"I'm okay with that," his voice was soft, barely a whisper.

As soft as his voice was, Sebastian could tell it was off. He wanted to follow up about it, curled up as they were in this weird little bubble of exhaustion and comfort they somehow kept finding themselves in. But he was too weary and emotionally drained to fight off the tired feelings pulling him down and settling into his healing bones.
"Only if promise to sleep with me now - " He shifted the tiniest bit closer, as if that was actually possible, in response to the added pressure of Reid's hold on him "- and continue the freak out you've got happening later. Yeah?"

He did finally give in and let his eyes droop shut, squeezed perhaps a bit more tightly than necessary against the images he stubbornly tried to ignore as they flashed behind his eyelids. Completely fucking fine.
"Shut up and sleep, mkay-"

Later. Sebastian would own up, and they'd actually talk about things later. When he was in a better head space, and Reid was a little less likely to fuss, when he was in less pain and Reid wasn't so exhausted.
"Okay, bossy." Sebastian acquiesced, pressing their foreheads carefully together.
